Tomorrow

[Bucko]

Tomorrow it will 34 years Black Sabbath released it's self Titled Album on the unsuspecting public 13/02/1970.............mmm I shall listen to Sabbath all this weekend to honor them .... Who will join me

 

[KoichCPA]

I will listen to sabbath at some stage tommorow.

 

[Goreripper]

I listen to Sabbath every day.

TONY MARTIN!

 

[KoichCPA]

This album does indeed rule. I love it how stoner bands spend so much money to get their cd's to sound like it, and sabbath spent about 200 bucks.

 

[Goreripper]

Actually it was 800 pounds. But even that was fuck all, even then.

 

[KoichCPA]

exactly, and whats the average production budget for say a Kyuss album?

 

[Goreripper]

I wouldn't like to guess. Probably a lot more. But Black Sabbath had no more spent on them than any band that had just been signed to a label. They just happened to have a sound and a style that was unique for the time that struck a chord. If they'd just sounded like the Doors or the Doobie Brothers, they would have gone nowhere, regardless of how much the album cost.

But I digress...

 

[KoichCPA]

Mr Iommi couldn't even afford shoes.

 

[Goreripper]

Who needs shoes when you can rock?

 

[Goreripper]

I always like the story about how, when he got his first royalty cheque, Ozzy went home and bought his parents a new car.

 

[BlindGuardianKill]

Not bad for a band with a guitarist missing a half a finger - but his moustache makes up for that..

Heaven & Hell is still my fave Black Sabbath album though..

 

[Southy]

I am going to listen to all of the Ozzy era Sabbath albums over and over all this weekend, Just Like an FM station repeats the crap, I shal repaet the good stuff

 

[Spruce Goose]

Heaven and Hell does rule.
I like Technical Ecstacy, and think it is greatly under rated. I also like Sabotage. The instrumental on that album rules... Cant for the life of me remember the name.

I've always wondered... what would have happened to music as we know it if say instead of releasing what they did, Black Sabbath actually released an album like... hmm, let's say Kill Em All.

That's an interesting speculation Todd, but it can't really be answered. I don't think it would have been possible to make something like 'Kill 'em All' back then, because the musical environment didn't exist.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Well my original question was what would have happened if they released an album like something Meshuggah would create, but that's just silly!

 

[Goreripper]

I don't think anyone in Sabbath would have been able to do anything even remotely close to Meshuggah! But when you think about it, the first Sabbath album was like Meshuggah, because it was something that hadn't been done before.

 

[Goreripper]

Yeah. 'Destroy Erase Improve' is one of the best metal albums ever.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

D.E.I = fucking winner!
